As we continue on with Lir and Louisa’s story, we follow them into the prison of Grimm Dorcha to hear the cases of the Unseelie Fat that Drosselmeyer freed from his mansion. But when their journey takes an unexpected turn, they are trapped in an icy stronghold and forced to play a twisted game. As the stakes rise higher, Louisa must confront her deepest doubts about her marriage and her worst fears about life in Faerie--as well as some harsh truths about herself.
————————————————————
“Just making conversation.”
“I hate conversation.”
“Perhaps you’ve been talking to the wrong people.”
I give her a broad smile. “I’m a fucking delight.”
————————————————————
“So… having your memories must be nice,” I persist. “I’m sure you’re grateful for that.”
“Remembrance can be a curse,” replies Fionn.
“Of course. There are things I wish I could forget. Like the first time I let someone put his d*ck in my as*. I was not ready for that. Should have chosen someone with a smaller c*ck, if you know what I mean.”
————————————————————
I’ve been viewing my marriage as something to be escaped, because I’m dissatisfied, because I seek novelty, and Lir has been too busy to provide it. And yes, he bears some fault for that. But I’m realizing now that the real cage isn’t my marriage—it’s one I carry with me, all the time. One I keep slipping back into, mentally.
————————————————————
I couldn’t put this book down, it had me all up in my emotional feels within myself and my marriage. It’s just so thoughtfully written with their journey together on finding themselves time after time. Chosen mates will always find a way and it shows in every trial they took together knowing or not. Louisa grew within herself and seeing how things needed to be different in order for them to be happy again. Lir just knew he needed to keep choosing her time after time. And it was just so beautifully tragic and romantic. And OMG the spice, Rebecca knows how to put it on paper!!! Yes ma’am!
I highly recommend diving into this series because this is a great epilogue to their story. So so good!!
Recommend 10/10!!
Spice: 4.8/5 (so hot!)

A continuation of Lir and Louisa’s story, I’m so glad the author gave us this short story. Their romance felt unfinished compared to Clara and Fin’s in the main novels and this helped resolve some loose ends. Don’t read this without reading the first two books of the series as there are some parts that connect. It takes place after the first book and during the second book. This is a test to their love and marriage, there are trigger warnings but comparable to the other books. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ on spice and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ overall, I want this series to continue forever 😭
With the first volume of Wicked Darlings evenly split between Louisa and Clara, and the second focused on Clara and Finias, I was wanting to know more about Louisa and Lir's life. The deep differences between their characters, as well as his heavy responsibilities as king, were setting them up for a rocky relationship. So Rebecca really sent them to the most brutal couple therapist ever: the Ice Queen.
Some areas of the story could have benefitted from some more exploration, like the characters populating the prison, or even the Banrion herself, who remains in many ways a mystery. However, the ever rising stakes and emotional trials of Lir and Louisa make up for all of that.
Besides Louisa, who grows a great deal in confidence and empathy during the story, I loved the chance to get to know Lir a bit more and the origins of his serious persona.
I read it all in one sitting, fretting for Louisa and Lir the whole time, and I think that speaks for itself.
